eleven am in the russian capital you're watching our arena joshie and our breaking news story this morning libyan rebels claim they are in control of most of the country's capital tripoli heavy fighting has been reported near to doubt his residence earlier today his sons were arrested following a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waving revolutionary flags journalist says in tripoli you were the foreign press has been obliged to stay during the conflict that's been alluded. to i got fired at the start of the day while i was putting signs saying press signs of could have been in front of the tell a fire going to tell they have snipers. we all feel threatened it's less now than before but if the rebels get here

a lot of us are feel very secure about that there's been looting you know tell right now i'm in the being in media stories office which is. basically you need permission to be near by i took deliberate coming here to show you can looting you can see the projector up there was taken and you can see the ladders that they put . it bring going through the rooms of people even the looters young men i don't think they were dangerous at all but to young men who just come in they're. going to all the ruses started collecting things you could see they broke the doors a lot of doors and again you can see. the ladders to steal the projectors computers. this is happening in various offices here the next few hours for us here are going to be critical. in regards to tripoli. i don't think that fighting is and

i think you'd be more fighting it's been very quiet here i've been shot at the hotel. i cannot say for now what would happen but. hopefully there will be peace and no bloodshed but nato has. done all that if you are i mean zero absolutely nato and the leaders you know states have to be held accountable as war critics if killed civilians in the opening that we would be safe we take you know by an international contingent from the united nations not from nato the british are talking about evacuating this place only for five nationals. only for five years not the rest of us. talked to earlier as a mainstream media talks of people waving revolutionary flags all over tripoli some independent reports suggest girl khadafi may be regaining control lizzie heard it could be the leading leaders intentional strategy to let the rebels in. i have.

people have come out in green square and other parts of the city waving the green flag and that the libyan army is in control now what we've heard is that the strategy up there libyan government an army was made. in sadr city because previously they have been operating in sleeper cells and that's why it was very difficult for the libyan army to know where they were hiding and so this strategy was part of bringing them out of the. direct confrontation so that they could be dealt with quite swiftly and also we have had that the tribes the large tribes that were shot by no one. and the tribes came in from came from the areas that joined the battle we have also heard that gadhafi was. with the people there. so this is this is the information that i'm hearing from our contacts that

christianity of course this is a huge time around. and if they. can if they do come from coming to ours. then it will be very interesting to see what this means for nato and its forces on the ground are you the rebels. the white house has hailed what it called a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but i made a positive sentiments perils have already been drawn to gyptian celebrations on tom or square and the disillusionment later followed artie's guided she can reports from washington d.c. . president obama spoke earlier this sunday night saying tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant also that must relinquish power once and for all nato secretary general has made a statement of similar in fact saying the regime is crumbling and that now the libyans have a chance for a new beginning he also said that the transition must come peacefully and of quote

well that part has raised a lot of questions because everything that was going. and in tripoli has been very far from being peaceful we're talking about extensive bombings by nato throughout the weekend actually throughout six months there from washington has been a key player in the fight for tripoli that's for us part of nato and as we know at this point nato has done the heavy work the means by which nato has been accomplishing the goal of ousting khadafi have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention fully in light of all those violations it was very unlikely that the u.n. security council would have adopted yet another resolution or levy a come september and september is when the previous resolution runs out so it was crucial for the rebels and for nato to carry out the operation before the resolution expires when you look at the footage coming from believe it very much reminds of a big cheer in that we saw in cairo when hosni mubarak was ousted and then the army

took over there and the egyptians are still struggling to make their voice heard and many leave the unst who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community. and it should come reporting there from washington d.c. based political scientist dr michael parenti says protecting civilians was just a pretext for nato to step in to levy a topple gadhafi and redirect the country's economy. the same thing as you saw it happen in yugoslavia and in europe there will be a mention of the sage taking place in public economy that because the government took over forty years which included public subsidies for. education health care for all those we privatized the oil the oil fields will be handed

over to private companies private profit death squads will come in and clean up. those who might still have a commitment to a social wage or community. and this is what we have to look forward to and that was the real intention was to overthrow the government it wasn't and humanitarian concern it wasn't any concern for democracy or human rights france germany and italy are again calling on khadafi to officially step down in the face of the rebel storming of tripoli there are fears of more bloodshed amid rumors france may use its military forces to try to capture the libyan leader barges daniel bushell joins us now from paris could have bring us more of the european reaction to what's going on in libya now. evaded all raising the question the french president has taken the leader they have dubbed throughout the world mentioned in libya and they. should immediately be fired and what how and he has led now the other major here in all

probability rebel. leader david cameron the cultural is holiday to chair the national security council on libya and the problem at the nick clegg is to parry speech on the issue he's expected to say the pool is closer than ever will be when britain's decision to intervene and promise that britain will stay the course for the taking the libyan people uprooting them in charge of their own fate now the head of its need for ministry called order that. germany has also said that they should step down quickly so the leader of libya has issued a departure transmission to the libyan people and all the rebel tripoli and leave it without water or electricity. use military force in the capital and street to street world war one put many more millions of lives at risk there's little patience and how well the boys know libya between them

so please of oil. all right daniel thanks very much indeed for the sub daniel bushell reporting from paris for us. with speculation rising and what the had for levy if rebels when we're interested in your opinion on the matter you can express that on our web site r.t. dark com well so far most think levy a will turn into another or rich colony for nato members twenty one percent don't believe anything will change at all just under that field the beer will split as internal struggle for power will start all remain there say the country will tear into a democratic state. well you can let us know what you think on this issue by logging on to our website party dot com and we'll be following the dramatic events maybe on air and online throughout the day so do stay with us for that if you can.

was very discords a busy dealing with riot cases human rights groups have been crying foul over the sharp disparity between chrono punishment some judges have been accused of overreacting and it's not for the first time among those now spending time with the looters behind bars is a war veteran whose crime was recording a court hearing laura amyt now reports the reason behind us punishment is not that simple. british prisons are full to bursting the courts are working overtime sending young people to jail for their role in the recent riots in england if they're to leave prison they'll be languishing alongside eighty five year old norman scarth he played the arctic sea cheering the second world war serving his country taking essential supplies to the soviet union on the most dangerous journey

in the world and now he's serving six months in prison on the whim of a british judge his crime reporting a court hearing he said he did it because he's hard of hearing but the judge didn't accept that it was a very harsh sentence and i believe it was because she's a recovering the corruption that the judiciary she. scoffed is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights. hearing room yet with still some cases in england all heard behind closed doors and recording and taking photographs is forbidden unlike in all the e.u. countries scarth attenders demonstrations where he shouts about corruption in the police and judiciary saying lawyers police and the courts. and regularly persecution gag those who disagree with them that's why m.p. john hemming suspects the judge was trying to shut him up we have in syria in this

country something called freedom of expression that is people's right to speak out about what they see as wrong as long as they're telling the truth and i'm very worried this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman he may not always be right but he has a right to be here luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the world and they're acting for him nobody supported them for his case to the royal courts of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claims he's being denied essential medication in president according to reports conditions in leeds prison are bad the war veteran can't get any exercise because he's unable to walk for the entire hour allocated scott also says he's being denied access to a lawyer by his jailers still drawing on every day and every fall leaving this longing is what we try to school with. norman scarth has vowed to keep fighting to expose corruption just as he fought all those years ago to keep fascism out of his

country the irony is the country he fought for is now the one he's fighting against laura and it's london. now if the u.k. government is determined to harsh justice will help man it's broken society author owen jones says it's to you which sets the bad example to those committing crimes useful underuse coming up next hour. when most expensive cities on the planet the minimum wage in the country there's just not enough to live on you can't support a family with it so these are huge social problems which are being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top so yes we have the bankers the international crisis we have the politicians. from the top we recently have the news international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened is more disorderly but the example being set by the top.

casualties would be to officially admit obvious fact that neither counterinsurgency ghana's stand nor drone warfare work in fact they both rep or do use their anti-american feelings well beyond their region and are perceived an exploited as the main recruiting tool for the terrorist and other transfer national organizations say against the united states strategic interests and against its allies and friends well beyond their. every cap of our breaking news story this morning colonel gadhafi is forty two year grip on libya appears to be nearing its sand with fighting reportedly breaking out near his residence in tripoli libyan rebels claim they have almost total control of the capital earlier could off the sons were arrested including saif al islam who is

his closest ally and a following and i have chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waving revolutionary flags will stay with us here on our t.v. together the latest and we'll be keeping you across what's happening in levy in the meantime let's take a look at what's happening in the world of business you he joins us next. hello and a very warm welcome time for your business update global indices up trying to catch a breath off to last week's panic buying investors are waiting for clues from the federal reserve as it prepares to announce further quarters of easing measures. there will be some kind of stimulus measures coming along because clearly on they can't really use interest rates anymore but it's a bit at the level there and it will be probably taken posted by the market but focus is first always to be in europe so that's going to be key after that that i

was comes i think the problem for for the third of. the fact that they've now fixed the interest rates at super twenty five up to two thousand and thirteen and just looking backward i mean six months ago the outlook for us was much more rosy and this means that you know how can you believe that you will have the same environment supporting such a low interest rate in six months or even twelve months time i think that looked at me over something that could become quite a problem problematic issue. ok let's take a look at some numbers branch kurta has dropped more than three dollars on monday to below one hundred six a barrel on the potential for resumption of exports from opec member libya as a six month civil war there appear to be close to a learned. is hovering at eighty one and a half dollars per barrel. and asian shares are in the red the nikkei has touched a five month low as wars bought the u.s. economy offset signs that the japanese authorities down ready to quell any fear of the strength of the strong yen is of course weighing on exporters in tokyo toyota

is losing two and a half percent mazda has dropped more than five percent yet. the prospect of a double dip recession in the u.s. and europe are having european traders reaching for the sell button and as you can see the foot sea and the decks are both down about half a percent now moving to russia driven tray and is again dominating the russian market the into says off of extending losses the r.t.s. has one to two and a half percent in the first hour of monday's trade my six is one point two percent lower. time to check up on some of the individual show on the my six energy majors are losing problems and we will price to shedding more than two. percent financials also in the right was down almost three percent on rules nicholas continue this is not soft rating to below investment grade that's because of its shareholder disputes and a delay in pens to financial results for the previous year while bucking the trend

is pulled us gold which is benefiting from gold reaching historic highs of one thousand eight hundred ninety dollars. meanwhile still in the jacket some from stocks of buying believes the current volatility is a good chance to cash in well if you look at value investing from bottom of investment obviously this is very very good times but you have to remember that investment is always based on degree to which it's taken so what is important to note now for investors median sure in the long term is that there are several good stocks across the globe where you can buy now and buy them of reasonable prices but you have to cater for the fact that liquidity the banking side of things will be increasingly under pressure you probably see the banks and you're having to be recapitalized to some extent some of the u.s. banks also going through the same exercise so what you have is to balance the value in stocks with the lack of liquidity and it's just i think what you need to do is

just to average yourselves in don't commit fully here don't get words either but you know by five percent of the cast voted for you this month five percent next month an average yourself into a good position in my opinion as to wordplay. well russia is planning new sweeping and to smoking laws which will seriously dent the profits of tobacco companies in the country the government is planning to hugely increase tobacco to two which will see the price of a packet of twenty triple to about two dollars well it's also going to bring in legislation to ban smoking in public places such as restaurants and nightclubs hotels and airport t.v. advertising will also be banned the sale of cigarettes restricted to larger stores and well currently about half of russian men and one in six women smoke the new rules are being introduced to try and improve the health of the russian population which has one of the lowest life expectancies in the industrialized world. that's
